True

Explanation:

According to the IRS tax guidelines in such a case the unreimbursed amount is deductible as an itemized deduction from tax returns.

What this implies for Mr. and Mrs. Jones is that the $12,000 unreimbursed amount would be deducted from their tax return. Thus, reducing the amount of taxes to be paid by them.
